IMPORTANT DISCOVERY IN WATER -PROOFING GENTLEMEN'S CLOTHING, which, while it renders it completely im pervious to wet, is totally free from all the objections attendant upon the present system. The process is applicable to any description of material or gar ment, and neither alters its appearance, impedes free perspiration, produces rheumatism, or unpleasant smell. In fact, such is its superiority, that when generally known it will doubtless entirely supersede the unsightly and unhealthy articles at present in use.

The following are a few additional particulars of the races de cided on Tuesday : Plate.—Canute took the lead and kept it, with the ruck well laid up, till they reached the cords, where the Mysie colt challenged him, and, after a fine race to the chair, won by a neck. Montreal, the Amima filly and Citron were next. Captain Daintree's colt by Redgauntlet, out of Columbine, eras mounted for starting, but turned restive, plunged till he threw his rider, broke away, and did not start. Clearwell.—After three false starts the lot got away in most admirable order, Reel leading at a great pace, followed by Shoveler and Vale of Belvoir. This trio maintained their positions to the end, Reel winning by half a length cleverly, and the Shoveler filly beating Vale of Belvoir by a head. Bustle was at the latter's quar ters, and Bulwark fifth, two or three lengths behind; the others were beaten off. Lord Lichfield's mare was weighed for the race, but did not run. Bulwark carried 71bs. extra. A draft from Lord Exeter's stud was put up for sale this morning, but none sold except Brother to Cactus, for 89 guineas.

It improves with use, and is warranted to stand the test of the strongest of acids, aqua fortis. The following is a sample of the prices ; but purchasers are recommended to apply, post paid, for a Catalogue, which can be forwarded for a single postage:— s. d • s. d. 2 0 0 6 6 0 1 6 1 0 16 0 9 6 Table Spoons and Forks, full Butter Knives size, with fiddle handles, per Salt and Mustare Spoons dozen . l2 0 Soup Ladles Dessert do. lO 0 Sauce Ladles Tea Spoons, per dozen 5 0 Sugar Tongs, each Grayey Spoons, each 4 0 'Fable Candlesticks, pet pair... 1 Fish Knives Cruet Frames, Shell Mountings CAPTION.—In consequence of the objections so justly urged against the article called German Silver, the Manufacturers of that metal are now calling it British Plate, although the materials re main unchanged. The British Plate manufactured by John James Rippon undergoes a Chemical Process, by which it is rendered pure and superior to any other so called. WARRANTED TABLE CUTLERY.

ESTEEMED SIR—You have proved the purity, potency, and utility, of a free, intelligent, Press, and one temporary victim, Mr. PATERNOSTER, now enjoys his invaluable pri vilege of liberty ! But are the dungeons searched by the friends of humanity, and every pitiable captive rescued ? Is the abominable system broken, and is security insured ? Not yet ! our work is not perfected, and although I will not say " nothing is done while anything remains to be done," still we must not stay our hand until a full remedial inquiry has prepared evidence, and AN ACT OF PARLIA MENT is passed preventing a recurrence of the evils re ferred to in my four letters to you. I have a great quantity of matter, and have made up my mind to submit it in brief sketches to the public, as my leisure will allow ; in the mean time, I put the questions—are E NORMOUS sums of money to be voted to public Lunatic Establishments, and no impar tial, humane, just investigation to be set on foot ? It will be seen that a new wing is to be made to Bethlem, and I was horror-struck to read in a police report in a newspaper that a gentleman (who said he had been at the dinner in com memoration of laying the foundation stone, and had taken too much CLARET) was locked up for the night, and fined five shillings for drunkenness. I think it possible the funds of the Institution paid for the repast. Colonel Clitheroe has, I find, given notice to the Middlesex Magistrates of a motion for a large grant for Hanwell. Ought not a jury of men of integrity be called to look into these matters, or are they to be select affairs ? What has become of the newly married young man who, about February last, was torn from his wife by his relations, although she strongly persisted, before Magistrates, he was not insane ? Let these points be considered as they should be by disinterested, uninfluenced persons, and let those who have perused Vir gil's tEneid picture to themselves the horrors of a mad house, as Virgil's description of the infernal regions will as sist in doing : He who can tell With what degrees of zeal we should defend Our COUNTRY, Fathers, Brother, or a Friend, Secure of Honour, he may boldly write, For he is sure to draw the image right.—HORACE.

[W e may add that Mr. Griffiths, on whose presumed in sanity, b ecause h e wrote a silly letter a b out G eorge IV ., Sir David Scott, of Brighton notoriety, obtained two pen sions on the Civil List, still remains, we believe, shut up in Bedlam, a victim of scandalous machinations. He has been there s evera l years, without any just cause, except it be a just cause to make out a case for getting a pension, of which the recipient is proved, even on the Chancellor of the Exchequer's Pension Committee, to have been unworthy. Our Lunatic Asylums are Bastiles and doctors' certificates letters de cachet.—ED] NE W HACKNEY CARRIAGE OFFICE (FROM A CORRESPONDENT RESIDING IN THE ADELPHL) Since the opening of this Office in Adam-street, a most in tolerable nu i sance h as ar i sen i n the congregation of all the omnibus drivers, hackney coachmen, cab drivers, and water men of the Metropolis, together with all their "pals," patrons, and dependants, both innumerable and dissolute. The assem blage of this class of persons is an admitted nuisance in the far more limited scale of a coach-stand ; I leave you to judge then, Sir, what has been the wretched state of annoyance to which we have been subjected by the infliction of this Licensing Office upon us—an infliction amounting, as regards the female part of our neighbourhood, to absolute imprisonment. The lawless conduct—the utter disregard to decency—the shout.. ings and hootings—and, above all, the blasphemous and exe crable language with which, on every side, one's ears are con stantly assailed, is a matter which, as the head of a family, I feel, in common with my neighbours, far too momentous to pass over in silence. The very ingress, as well as egress, to our houses has been obstructed ; and, although additional police con stables have been in attendance, they have been unable to abate the annoyance, though their presence, perhaps, has checked further violence. Mr. D. W. Harvey will himself bear wit ness as to character, for he stated at a public meeting that he had refused to license from one thousand to fifteen hundred of these persons on account of their having been convicted of crime. Lord John Russell has been memorialized on the subject, but, I regret to say, as yet without effect. Why not remove the Office to the Palace Court, Scotland-yard? This Court is now used only one day a week, the situation every way de sirable, and offering facilities which the present Office cannot possibly possess. PORTSMOUTH. An elegant silver tea service was, on Saturday last, as the inscription states, " Presented to the Rev. John Poulett M'Ghie, A.M., by the congregation of St. Thomas's Church, as a parting token of their grateful sense of the ability, zeal, and faithfulness, with which he, as Curate of the Parish of Portsmouth, discharged the all-important duties of a Christian minister." The presentation was accompanied by a note from Dr. Stewart, the Chairman of the Committee of Subscribers, to whom the Reverend Gentleman has addressed the fol lowing reply : ~ m y Dear Sir, —Accept my sincere thanks for your friendly communication of Saturday afternoon. The elegant testimonial which it accompanied, you and the other subscri bers may rest assured, is, and ever will be, regarded by me with feelings of deep and most affectionate interest. Presen ted under circumstances in which the mind is naturally ha rassed and depressed, it serves to solace and to cheer; and wherever hereafter my lot may be cast, I trust it will stimulate me in my endeavours through grace to acquire a juster title than lam conscious of now possessing to the character with which the band of Christian friendship has inscribed it. I hope, too, that I am not presumptuous in considering that the value of your offering is still further enhanced from its adding to many other recen t p roofs that throu g hout our country there is an increasing mutual attachment between church ministers and church people. A cause this for holy joy and thankfulness to all true Christians. For no church, we may be confident, should be regarded as in a hopeful state, of which, on the one hand, its ministers do not act as in love to the souls of their people, and of which, on the other, a large proportion of its people love s people does not e steem its ministers ver y highly in for their works' sa ke. ‘‘ I feel, however, that as your time is valuable, I must not your mind Bear w ith me onl y , therefore, i n recalling to mind that one of my man y kind friends, a poor aged wido w in r be of, upon mine begging that her m ite ( as she in scri p tural allusion termed it) might be received, most affectin g l y calle d down upon m e f rom above, a thousand blessing s. From her venerable lip s , th en, you have heard what I wo uld in retur n implore, not only for ; the bless those whose hearts have been moved to present me with so costly a token of their regard, but for all, likewise, within the precincts this if su world,esuch the and e glory in enemies. God grant them a thousand bl ess i ngs ing s of Providence thisparish, and 0 f y yea, even, a cein the world to come, where if we meet, we meet in eternal p eace and happiness, we meet never again to part.—Belie ve me , my dear Sir, y ours ever most faithfully. " JOHN POULETT IVPG HIE. " St. Thomas -street, October 1. ,, We feel assured that our readers can no t b u t concur i n t h e delight we felt in the perusal of this letter. The spirit which it breathes cannot fail to excite the admiration of all right-mind e d persons, whil e it p ossesses a l so a c h arm o f universalinfluence in the allusion t o th e " i ncreas i ng mu tual attachment t between church mi n i s t ers an d c hurch A people." the same time we cannot avoid again ex pressing a regret that circumstances should have arisen to render a se p a ration necessary, for Mr. M'Ghie has been the instrument of Providence in effecting much good in this populous neighbourhood, and had secured that con fidence and respectwhichonly be o btained by the can zealous exert i ons of a faithful minister. The Reverend Gentleman • will not as , we previouslyit may place stated, preach his on Sunday next ; when farewell s ermon take we cannot say — we , Y—we would f a i n hope not at all . We would gladly i ndulge a hope that arrangements may yet be made to prevent a equally pain separatio n • ful to the minister and the people.—ii ampshire Advertiser. T e Hertford Times states that last Friday the Black Mountains were covered with snow. The Essex Herald, reporting the proceedings of the Witham Agricultural Meeting, states that amongst the prizes distributed on the occasion was a gammon of bacon. It was awarded to Thomas Clark, who has a wife and eleven children. The qualification of candidates is the being a mar ried couple, labourer in husbandry and his wife, who brought up the greatest number of children, and placed them in re spectable service, without any parochial relief.

Oa Thursday last Mr. Henry Flower, of Compton-place, Islington, applied to the Lord Mayor for advice under the fol. wing circumstances Mr: Flower stated that on the previous (Wednesday) after noon he arrived in London from Boulogne, by the Magnet steam-packet, and that he was informed by the Custom-house officers on board the vessel that he could receive his luggage as soon as it was deposited in the luggage warehouse of the Custom-house. Accordingly, on Thursday morning he went to the Custom-house, or rather to the warehouse on London Bridge Wharf. His luggage, consisting of five packages, was searched and passed by the examining officer, and a duty of three shillings was ordered to be charged on some trifling ar ticle, which Mr. Flower proceeded to pay, when the clerk demanded five shillings and sixpence. Mr. Flower requested to know the reason of the additional charge of the two shillings and sixpence, to which the clerk replied that be demanded it on the part of Messrs. Jackson and Knill, the wharfingers, it being sixpence on each paekage. Mr. Flower refused to pay it, and his goods were detained in consequence. He therefore ap plied to the Lord Mayor for his advice. The LORD MAYOR wished to know at what wharf, and at what hour, Mr. Flower landed ? Mr. Flower replied, at London Bridge Wharf, at two o'clock in the afternoon. The LORD MAYOR asked if the warehouse et London Bridge Wharf was used as a deposit one by the Custom-house ? Mr. Flower said he thought not. The LORD MAYOR did not see that he could assist Mr. Flower. He considered the charge of sixpence on each pack age as a gross imposition, and he was at a loss to know how it could ever have been suffered to be demanded under the very eye of the Custom-house authorities. He recommended Mr. Flower to apply to the Commissioners of the Customs on the subject. Mr. Flower observed that at the Custom-house itself no charge was ever made on passengers' luggage arriving from the Continent. He believed that the present demand made upon him was under pretence of paying for the warehouse at London Bridge Wharf, which was nothing better than a good sized stable, the parts appropriated for the passengers' waiting-room and their luggage, being exactly like lofts. The warehouse, cranesand all, could not have cost anything like 1,0001., and yet he was sure the public had paid upwards of 3,0001. for it, and the imposi tion was still going on. Mr. Flower hoped the Lord Mayor would grant him a summons against Messrs. Jackson and Knill to show by what authority they detained his goods, after they had been passed by the Customs. The LORD MAYOR said he had every disposition to serve Mr. Flower, but, under the circumstances, it was not in his power to issue a summons. He thought Mr. Flower had better apply to the Commissioners, and, in the meantime, he would give him a card to a gentleman to make inquiries of. Mr. Flower thanked the Lord Mayor for his attention, and withdrew. EAST INDIA SHIPPING.

The borrowing of newspapers is very unfair, and hardly an honourable practice. Suppose the principle should be extended, and that people should take it into their heads to borrow the wares of tradesmen, instead of purchasing them, what a pretty pass would things come to.

A MECHANICAL PUZZLE.—A clock, the dial and bands of which appear perfectly detached from any me chanical power, has attracted much attention in the window of Mr. Cox Savory, the clockmaker, of Cornhill. The difficulty is to understand by what means the hands are made to move, seeing that they are placed in the centre of a perfectly trans parent pane of glass, and no communication with any mecha nical power passes through the pane of glass. The figures denoting the hours are painted on the glass, thus rendering it obvious that the glass is stationary.

That much of his success was derived from the mechanical adherence of his adversaries to the formal rules of ancient tactics, cannot be donbted ; and our Wel lington's campaigns would, in the same circtinistances, and had he been opposed to similar antagonists, in likelihood have been equally brilliant and decisive. But L ,- ; always had to combat the soldiers bred in Napoleon's school while Napoleon, f or th e most part, was matched aga.est men whose inveterate p ropens i ty to follow the rules of arr obsolete science, not even the example of Frederick had been able to subdue ; and who were resolved upon being a second time the victims of the same obstinate blindness which bad, in Frederick's days, made genius triumph over numbers by breaking through rules repugnant to common sense. It must, however, be confessed, that although this consideration accounts for the achievements of this great warrior, which else had been impossible, nothing is thus detracted from his praise, excepting that what he accom plished ceases to appear tri.eaculous ; for it was his glory never to let an error pass unproistably to himself, nor ever to give his adversary an advantage which !lc could not ravish from him, with ample interest, before it was turned to any fatal account. Nor can it be denied that when the fortune of war proved ad verse , th e resources o f hi s m i n d were only drawn forth in the more ample profusion. After the ,!lattle of Aspern he displayed more skill, as well as constancy, than in all his previous campaigns ; and the struggle which he made in France, during the dreadful conflict which pre- ceded his downfall, is by many regarded as the master piece of his military life. Nor let us forget that the grand error of his whole career, the mighty expedition to Moscow, was a political error only. The vast prepara tions for that campaign—the combinations by which he collected and marshalled and moved this prodigious and various force like a single corps, or a domestic animal, or a lifeless instrument in his hand—displayed in the highest de gree the great genius for arrangement and for action with which he was endowed ; and his prodigious efforts to regain the ground which the disasters of that campaign rescued from his grasp, were only not successful because no human power could in a month create an army of cavalry, nor a word of command give recruits the discipline of veterans. In the history of war, it is assuredly, only Hannibal who can be compared to him ; and certainly, when we reflect. upon the yet greater difficulties of the Carthaginian's posi tion—the much longer time during which he maintained the unequal contest—still more, when we consider that his enemies have alone recorded his story, while Napoleon has been his own annalist—justice seems to require that the modern should yield to the ancient commander. But Napoleon's genius was not confined to war • he pos sessed a large c a p ac ity a l so f or c i v il affairs. He saw as clearly and as quickly determined on his course in govern ment as in the field. His public works, his political refor mations, especially his code of laws, are monuments of his wisdom and his vigour more imperishable, as time has al ready proved, and himself proudly foretold, than all his victories. His civil courage was more brilliant than his own, or most other men's courage in the field. How ordi nary a bravery it was that blazed forth at Lodi, when he headed his wavering columns across the bridge swept by the field of Austrian artillery, compared with the undaunted and sublime courage that carried him from Cannes to Paris with a handful of men, and fired his bosom with the desire, and sustained it with the confidence, of overthrowing a dynasty, and overwhelming an empire by the terror of his name ! Nor were his endowments merely those of the statesman and the warrior. If he was not, like Cmsar, a consummate orator, he yet knew men so thoroughly, and especially Frenchmen, whom he had most nearly studied, that he possessed the faculty of addressing them in strains of sin gular eloquence —an eloquence peculiar to himself. It is not more certain that he is the greatest soldier whom France ever produced, than it is certain that his place is high amongst her greatest writers, as far as composition or diction is concerned. But with these great qualities of the will—the highest courage, the most easy formation of his resolutions, the most stedfast adherence to his purpose, the entire devotion to the object of all his energies —and with the equally shining faculties of the understanding by which that firm will worked—the clearest and quickest apprehension, the power of intense apVication, the capacity of complete abstraction from all interrupting ideas, the complete and most instantaneous circumspection of all difficulties, whether on one side, or even providently seen in prospect, the intuitive knowledge of men, and power of mind and of tongue to mould their will to his purpose—with these qualities, which form the character held greatest by vulgar minds, the panegyric of Napoleon must close. He was a con queror ; he was a tyrant ! To gratify his ambition—to slake his thirst of power—to weary a lust of dominion which no conquests could satiate—he trampled on liberty when his hand might have raised her to a secure place ; and he wrapt the world in flames, which the blood of mil liroingsinayalllone could quen c h. By th ose p ass i ons , a mind, not originally unkindly, was perverte d and deformed, till human misery ceased to move it ; and honesty, and truth, and pity, the duties we owe to God and to man, had de parted from one thus given up to a single and a selfish pursuit. In Washington we truly behold a marvellous contrast to almost every one of the endoviments and the vices which we have been contemplating, and which are so well fitted to excite a mingled admiration, and sorrow, and abhorrence. With none of that brilliant genius which dazzles ordinary , minds ; with not even any remarkable quickness of appre— hension ; with knowledge less than almost all persons its the middle ranks, and many well educated of the humbler classes possess ; this eminent person is presented to our observation clothed in attributes as modest, as unpretend ing, as little calculated to strike or to astonish, as if he had passed unknown through some secluded region of private life. But he had a judgment sure and sound ; a steadiness of mind which never suffered any passion or even any feel ing to ruffle its calm ;. a strength of understanding which worked rather than forced its way through all obstacles-- removing and avoiding, rather than over-leaping them. IT . . . . . His courage, whether in battle or in council, was as perfect .as might be expected from this pure and steady temper of soul. A perfectly just man, with a thoroughly firm resolution never to be misled by others, any more than by others overawed ; never to be seduced or betrayed, or hurried away by his own weak nesses or self-delusions, any more than by other men's arts ; nor ever to be disheartened by the most complicated difficulties, any more than to be spoilt on the giddy heights of fortune. Such was this great man—whether we regard him sustaining alone the whole weight of campaigns, all but desperate, or gloriously terminating a just warfare by his resources and his courage--presiding over the jarring elements of his political council, alike deaf to the storms of all extremes—or directing the formation of a new Go vernment for a great people, the- first time that so vast an experiment had ever been tried by man—or finally retiring from the supreme power to which his virtue had raised him over the nation he had created, and whose destinies he had guided as long as his aid was required—retiring with the ve neration of all parties, of all nations, of all mankind, in order that the rights of men might be conserved, and that his example never might be appealed to by vulgar tyrants. This is the consummate glory of the great American ; a triumphant warrior where the most sanguine might despair ; a successful ruler in all the difficulties of a course wholly untried ; but a warrior whose sword only left its sheath when the first law of our nature commanded it to be drawn ; and a ruler who, having tasted of supreme power, gently and unostentatiously desired that the cup might pass from him, nor would suffer more to wet his lips than the most solemn and sacred duty to his country and his God required ! To his last breath did this great patriot maintain the noble character of a captain the patron of peace, and a statesman the friend of justice. Dying, he bequeathed to his heirs the sword which he had worn in the war for liberty, charging them " never to take it from the scabbard but in self-defence, or in defence of their country and her freedom ; and commanding them that, when it should thus be drawn, they should never sheathe it nor ever give it up, but prefer falling with it in their hands to the relinquishment thereof" —words, the majesty and simple eloquence of which, ar e not surpassed i n th e oratory o f Athens an d Rome. It will be the duty of the historian and the sage in all ages to emit no occasion of commemorating this illustrious man ; and till time shall be no more will a test of the progress which our race has made in wisdom and in virtue be derived from the veneration paid to the immortal name of Wash ington !
